Matt, brace yourself...

My friend made a rather irate post on his blog today. It seems that he's been devastated by the recently released trailer for The Watchmen.

In effort to sooth his saddened soul, I sought out the trailer for The Spirit; what I believe to be an example of graphic-novel adaption goodness, directed by Frank Miller of Sin City fame.



But my attempt to lift Matt's spirits (puuuuunnn, get it?) was ultimately quashed under the horrendous rumors of...
*drum roll please* 300 2 (as in a sequel to the homoerotic meat-head shit-fest that was 300).

WHAT THE FUCK??? Seriously Frank, what in God's name would posses you to a.) make a sequel to a testosterone-pumped costume party (answer: $$$), and b.) make a fictional sequel to a HISTORICAL EVENT (answer: ???)

The Spirit better be as good the trailers make it look. Better, in fact. Otherwise Frank Miller is going to find himself on my shit-list, right next to Zack Snyder.
